Cotton Gin begins cotton picking process in Noxubee Co.
SUMMARY: In Noxubee County, Mississippi, favorable dry weather is aiding local cotton farmers in their harvest. The Bogue Chitto Gin has processed around 30,000 bales so far, expecting to reach 100,000 by season’s end, although this is lower than initial forecasts. Current cotton prices are about $0.67 per pound, resulting in minimal profits for farmers. Local farmer Jack Huerkamp emphasized the gin’s role in increasing production efficiency, despite challenges like synthetic textile competition and international overproduction keeping prices down. He remains optimistic about future cycles in the farming business.

SUMMARY: Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to four consecutive life terms without parole for the brutal 2022 stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students. He pleaded guilty in July 2025 to avoid the death penalty. During sentencing, families shared emotional testimonies of loss and anguish. Kohberger, a criminology graduate student, broke into the victims’ home and killed them without known motive, remaining silent at the hearing. Police used DNA and genetic genealogy to identify him. The case deeply affected the community, with misinformation spreading online. Kohberger waived his right to appeal. Some victims’ relatives offered forgiveness and sought answers.
